Abstract

The method for manufacturing the sliding member includes the step of spraying a first powder of the precipitation-hardening copper alloy or a mixed powder containing the first powder and a second powder harder than the first powder onto the base in an un melted state, so as to form the coating layer on the base.

First claim

1 .- 11 . (canceled)

12 . A sliding member, comprising:
a base; a coating layer formed on the base; and an intermediate layer that is formed in at least a part of an interface between the base and the coating layer and comprises at least one of a diffusion layer and an intermetallic compound layer,
wherein the coating layer includes a particle aggregate containing first particles of a precipitation-hardening copper alloy.

13 . The sliding member according to claim 12 ,
wherein the precipitation-hardening copper alloy contains nickel and silicon as additive elements, and the particle aggregate comprises at least one precipitation phase of nickel silicate inside and/or in the surface of at least a part of the first particles.

14 . The sliding member according to claim 12 , wherein at least one of the base and the coating layer comprises a plastically deformed portion.

15 . The sliding member according to claim 12 , wherein a porosity in a cross section of the coating layer is equal to or less than 3 area %.

16 . The sliding member according to claim 12 , wherein the particle aggregate contains second particles of at least one alloy particles selected from the group consisting of iron-based alloy particles, cobalt-based alloy particles, chromium-based alloy particles, nickel-based alloy particles and molybdenum-based alloy particles, and/or second particles of ceramic particles.

17 . A sliding member, comprising:
a base; and a coating layer formed on the base,
wherein the coating layer includes a particle aggregate containing first particles of a precipitation-hardening copper alloy,
the precipitation-hardening copper alloy contains nickel and silicon as additive elements, and
the particle aggregate comprises at least one precipitation phase of nickel silicate inside and/or in the surface of at least a part of the first particles.

18 . A sliding member of an internal combustion engine, comprising a sliding member in a sliding portion of the internal combustion engine,
wherein the sliding member comprises:
a base;
a coating layer formed on the base; and
an intermediate layer that is formed in at least a part of an interface between the base and the coating layer and comprises at least one of a diffusion layer and an intermetallic compound layer, and
the coating layer includes a particle aggregate containing first particles of a precipitation-hardening copper alloy.

19 . A sliding member of an internal combustion engine, comprising a sliding member in a sliding portion of the internal combustion engine,
wherein, the sliding member comprises:
a base; and
a coating layer formed on the base,
the coating layer includes a particle aggregate containing first particles of a precipitation-hardening copper alloy,
the precipitation-hardening copper alloy contains nickel and silicon as additive elements, and
the particle aggregate comprises at least one precipitation phase of nickel silicate inside and/or in the surface of at least a part of the first particles.

20 . A method for manufacturing a sliding member that comprises:
a base; a coating layer formed on the base; and an intermediate layer that is formed in at least a part of an interface between the base and the coating layer and comprises at least one of a diffusion layer and an intermetallic compound layer,
wherein the coating layer includes a particle aggregate containing first particles of a precipitation-hardening copper alloy or a particle aggregate containing the first particles and second particles harder than the first particles, the method comprising the step of:
spraying a first powder of the precipitation-hardening copper alloy or a mixed powder containing the first powder and a second powder harder than the first powder onto the base in an unmelted state, so as to form the coating layer on the base,
wherein in spraying the first powder or the mixed powder onto the base, the first powder or the mixed powder is sprayed onto the base at such a speed that makes the first powder be sprayed onto the base to form a plastically deformed portion in at least one of the base and the coating layer.

21 . The method for manufacturing the sliding member according to claim 20 , wherein the first powder is in a state of supersaturated solid solution.

22 . The method for manufacturing the sliding member according to claim 20 , wherein the first powder is made by rapid solidification.
